I've got to disagree on this one. My step-daughter is 10 and loves Raven. I have watched my fair share of various Disney shows and "That's so Raven" actually has me laughing sometimes - because it's so goofy. I think they know they are being over the top and they go with it.
Some of the others - The Suite Life, Phil of the Future, Hannah Montanta - those kids overact to no end and I don't think they realize it. Much worse, IMO!
ETA: The best kid actor on Disney shows was the kid who played Gordo on Lizzy Maguire!

I would have to agree with you on that...

Yeah but the overacting is just DUMB and it's clearly written that way.
I agree about Suite Life, etc... Whatever happened to good old TV.. Family Matters, Full House, Cosby, smurfs, Get Smart on Nick at Night...

If you don't like it, why are you watching it?

I don't. I do however have younger siblings.
Besides, how else could I complain about it on a message board?

Guess you have a point there...my nephew (who lives with me) loves Barney so right now I have to miss programs so that he can watch the same Barney over and over again before getting bored and moving on to something else. It's funny because as soon as he gets up and starts playing w/ something else, I'll change the channel to see if he is still watching it...well he is a smart little thing because he'll turn around and start whining because I changed the channel...then proceed to what he was doing. Grand manipulation at 22 months!

Yeah they're good at that.
I have 3 younger siblings so I hit pretty much every kid "trend" that came along...
Barney was the worst

I went to HS with him! He was one of my friends. He left after freshman year to move to California to do the show. He's about 21-22 now.

Really? I liked Gordo! Did Lizzie and he ever hook up in the show. I know he pinned for her.
I LOVED Today's Special. And Pinwheel.

He kissed her at the end of the movie, but that's all. (Besides, anything more could have gotten him thrown in jail...he was around 19 and she was like 15 at the time).

Well at least she was cute then. Now she's all lollipop head uber skinny girl. And what's with her teeth? They look like dentures - and they sound like dentures when she talks.

Oh my gosh!!! I had forgotten about Today's Special. We didn't have cable, so it was a great treat to watch it (and others) at Grandma's house  I liked David the Gnome, and Maya the Bee had a catchy theme song.
At home, we watched the Smurfs and the Snorks...oh and Looney Tunes, of course.
Back on topic: I loved Raven in the Cosby Show. I've only seen her current show a couple of times, and I found it very silly. I guess that's not a terrible thing for a kid show.

The original was such a funny movie - I hate to think about a remake of it. I can't think of many remakes that have been too good.
